Health care facilities and medical staff must be protected at all times, and warring parties must respect hospital grounds, says humanitarian group

“We confirm our adherence to what was agreed upon after President Biden-backed proposal at the end of May, and UN Security Council Resolution No. 2735, which the movement agreed to on July 2,” Khalil Al-Hayya, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, said in a video clip posted on Telegram.

Iravani added: "The Israeli regime violated our national security and sovereignty with the recent terrorist act (assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran). We have the right to defend ourselves and this issue has nothing to do with stopping the war in Gaza.

According to the report, the group said Haniyeh held “communications with the mediators in Qatar and Egypt regarding the ideas being discussed with them to reach an agreement that would put an end to the brutal aggression faced by our steadfast people in the Gaza Strip”.

Qatar, which alongside the United States and Egypt has been mediating talks between Hamas and Israel, has also urged Israel to provide a clear position that has the backing of its entire government to reach a deal.

The “Bahrain Declaration” issued by the 22-member bloc with the participation of President Mahmoud Abbas called for “deployment of United Nations international protection and peacekeeping forces in the occupied Palestinian territory until the two-state solution is implemented.”

‘If the Israelis give up their insistence on continuing the war, an agreement could be reached within days,’ says Qatari official

Biden said Saturday that a cease-fire in Gaza would be possible as soon as “tomorrow” if Hamas released Israelis in its captivity.

“Hamas is still keen on reaching an agreement that ends the aggression, guarantees Israeli troop withdrawal, and achieves a serious prisoner exchange deal,” Haniyeh said in a statement.

Iran’s foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and Omani counterpart Sayyid Badr Al-Busaidi on Saturday called for efforts to bring an end to the Zionist regime’s crimes against Gazans and to send humanitarian aid to the Palestinian enclave.

Albanese said in a press statement that there has been no clear action regarding the cessation of the Israeli aggression on Gaza and it should be achieved as soon as possible, emphasizing that Security Council resolutions are fully binding and must therefore be enforced.

“Hamas told mediators about its decision to freeze all discussions about a Gaza ceasefire or hostage swap with Israel,” the source told Anadolu.

At a joint press conference before meeting with US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, a group of foreign ministers refused to discuss in detail the future of Gaza, saying the focus should remain on stopping the fighting immediately in the Palestinian enclave between Hamas and the Israeli military.
